Synopsis by Linda J. Shriver

This video is the sequel to She Said Yes: The Unlikely Martyrdom of Cassie Bernall. The video was made after Cassie Bernall fell victim to the Columbine High School shootings. This program tells the story of the people who were close to Cassie and the bond that they shared. As a young teenager, Cassie was attracted to violence, drugs, and the goth lifestyle. When her parents took her away from her friends and her school, she became suicidal. At her new school, students found her difficult to approach, but eventually befriended her. At 17 she had become settled and involved in the community. Meet some of her friends and some of the members of her youth group in Littleton, CO. They talk about her and how they have impacted each other's lives through community involvement. The program is available in both secular and faith-based formats.
